<p>If I recall correctly, the Azarketi were from the Absalom book that got delayed. It was supposed to come out before the Ancestry Guide, which is why the Ancestry Guide has additional Heritages, Feats, etc. for them but not the actual Ancestry information; so the PDF is just a patch until the Absalom book comes out.

<br />
Kobold art is really strange, the reds make sense as it says they are a beefy clan, but all these heads are bulbous and far too virtical, it's very off putting. Maybe try putting more of an emphasis on adding bits of true dragons facial/head features based on their exemplar to help with the art direction.
<br />
More importantly, lizardfolk options. First off many reptiles have prominent jakobs organs meaning they have superior scent and heat tracking capabilities but still no representation of that in game. Second, lizardfolk have a long history of natural defense to go with their natural weapons, you even mention this in the sand brethren section and still no options for representing this.
<br />
These are things I think are part of the core of what lizardfolk are, so it's very strange they are still missing. I like the cultural feats, it's nice to have some non-physiological choices. I just hope we eventually get these two things as options before too long.</p>As much as I like so much in this, two negatives stick out for me.
